Egg in the Island

My mother wasn't famous for her cooking, but I always loved her egg-in-the-island...just had to scrape the black parts off. It's an easy meal that works for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack, making it the best friend of every mother and college student alike.

Preparation

Use a glass to cut out a circle from each slice of bread, saving the circles to toast in the pan too. Heat butter or oil in a frying pan and lay the bread inside.

Crack an egg into the center hole of each slice. If you don't like runny yolks, go ahead and pinch or poke them.

Flip 'em over once the bottom is getting nice and golden.

Sprinkle on a little sea salt before serving.

It's really that simple--can you believe it? My kids love these and so do I. Round it out with cottage cheese and veggie sticks, or a salad with feta, and you've got a meal full of protein, complex carbs, fiber and calcium.

Our guidelines are simple and are meant to help maintain an atmosphere of generosity and respect, so that everyone can have a positive experience here. They can be boiled down to this: please always try to add value to this community rather than take it away.

RESPECT. We're all moms here, and we all know that while motherhood is incredibly rewarding, it's not easy. So we start from a place of respect—for each other, for our children, for the huge challenge of being a mom. We recognize that there's much to be gained from the EXCHANGE of reassurances and ideas with other moms, who understand like no one else. And we thrive when we have access to non-judgemental SUPPORT and try to PAY IT FORWARD by giving that support readily to others. Let's keep our community ENCOURAGING, CONSTRUCTIVE, and THOUGHTFUL!
